Product Development Engineer

As a Product Development Engineer, you will be responsible for the mechanical design, validation, and documentation during the new product development process. Your role will involve specifying precise functional requirements for new products, designing, testing, and integrating components to create final designs, and evaluating the overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety of the designs. Collaboration with internal manufacturing partners, contract manufacturers, designers, and product specialists will be essential to optimize designs for manufacturability. Additionally, you will utilize CAD or CAE systems to model new designs and produce detailed engineering drawings. Your main duties and responsibilities will include designing and developing new products using advanced modeling tools and engineering principles. You will apply your engineering expertise to design mechanical components for rotary equipment such as pumps, gearboxes, mechanical seals, couplings, and baseplates. Specification of product specifications, design, and testing of components will be crucial in producing final designs. You will also create and execute product and process validation plans, review material specifications and bills of materials, and perform mechanical design calculations and documentation for regulatory requirements. Compliance with Design Control and Stage Gate processes, responsibility for key deliverables and milestones in the new product development process, participation in design reviews, and collaboration with various functions during all phases of product development are key aspects of this role. Strong collaboration skills, creative thinking, and a focus on results will be important in driving solutions and execution. Required Skills: - Experience in mechanical design of rotary equipment, preferably pumps. - Proficiency in new product development, preparing design proposals, concepts, manufacturing drawings, and instruction manuals. - Expertise in CAD for 3D modeling and drawing, preferably using Inventor. - Ability to perform design and sizing calculations for components like bearings, couplings, fasteners, and gears. - Experience in defining manufacturing processes, resolving manufacturing and assembly issues, and selecting materials for mechanical components. - Understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ANSI Y14.5) and design standards and regulatory requirements. - Knowledge of production processes such as machining, forging, molding, casting, welding, and polishing. - Experience with Vault-PDM and ERP systems, preferably SAP. - Strong interpersonal, project handling, and communication skills. - Proficiency in project planning and execution using software programs like MS Word, Excel, Project, and PowerPoint. - Ability to perform tear-downs of pumps and stand for long hours, as well as lift 8-10 kg of weight during pump assemblies and testing. Education and Experience: - B.E or M.E/M.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering. - Minimum of 6 years of experience in new product design. If you are a proactive and detail-oriented engineer with a passion for new product development and a strong technical background, we encourage you to apply for this challenging and rewarding position.,
